Bookstore Bar & Café, located inside the Royal Sonesta Alexis Seattle, offers a quiet and cozy spot away from the busy pike area, making it ideal for resting and taking a break. The venue is perfect for hotel guests and those looking for a casual stop on 1st Street. The space is large but sparsely decorated, with an ambiance that is nice and quiet, suitable for brunch or a relaxed drink.
The bar serves good, expertly made drinks, with notable mentions including cocktails and espresso. The Brussels sprouts are a highlight, described as absolutely banger. However, the food generally received mixed reviews, with some dishes being only mid and the overall meal not meeting expectations. The menu sometimes features prices that reflect rising wages, which some customers found tacky, suggesting that prices could be raised instead.
Service received high praise, especially from a standout server and bartender who provided great attention despite being the only staff member on the floor. The atmosphere can be a bit confusing at times, with smooth music, dim lighting, and ESPN on the TV. Overall, Bookstore is a decent place to grab a beer or a snack, though some felt it was underprepared during busier times and not a place they would go out of their way to revisit.
